Vaughn was great! He was pretty sure what the problem was but did his due diligence. He confirmed that we were okay with the invasive work required and, as with all our John the Plumber folks, confirmed the price was okay before proceeding. Will keep using John the Plumber.

We have dealt for the first time with Joh n the plumber and are very impressed with the service and ethical integrity that Brad their septic technician was. He took the time to explain and give us various options with our older septic system. I would recommend him and John the Plumber to anyone. Thank you

Ryen and Jordan did an exceptional job addressing a kitchen sink that wouldn't drain. They were professional, hunted the problem until it was resolved, and then made a quick fix to help prevent the issue from reoccurring. Moreover, they quoted me for a proper longterm fix and weren't aggressive or pushy. They blew my expectations out of the water and I wouldn't hesitate with using them again in the future. I hope that their great work and friendly disposition doesn't go unnoticed by any higher-ups!

It's refreshing to deal with people who not only take pride in their work but also make the whole experience pleasant and stress-free. They went above and beyond, and their positive attitudes and dedication really stood out. I highly recommend Matt and Elia to anyone looking for reliable, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring plumbers. John the Plumber is lucky to have these two on their team!
